Notes
Muneeb's Sub 5 Mil
Met up with Muneeb and crew and jogged over to Urbana for the attempt. Let Muneeb get his warm up in and did some drills myself to try and loosen up. Did 2 200s to try and find pace, and then we were off. Plan was to pace Muneeb through 809m right at 5 flat pace and let him finish strong. Hit pace perfectly through the first 600m, but slowed a bit into the wind on the home stretch. Ryan picked us up there and took Muneeb the rest of the way. The kid closed hard and got under 5. The 4:58.6 was Muneeb's first time under 5. The pure joy that Muneeb exhibited after realizing that he had broken the barrier was remarkable. Showing that level of genuine emotion is rare, and I couldn't help myself from smiling watching him bask in his own personal achievement. Congrats Muneeb, there are plenty of fastest miles ahead of you. Thanks for letting me take part.
Really slow cd home.
